           Summary: Data Validation could not be accomplished in POI 3.0
           Product: POI
           Version: 3.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The data validation functionalities of Excel could not be accomplished in POI 
3.0. There is indeed a previous bug relating to this (Bugzilla # 27511). A fix 
is also been provided there. But the fix provided there works only with POI 
2.5.x. The additional class files provided there HSSFDataValidation, 
DVALRecord,  DVRecord) tries to call some methods in the base classes of this 
API, but unfortunately methods with the required signatures no longer exist in 
POI 3.0. Hence trying to compile these classes throws exceptions (shown below).

"DVRecord.java": org.apache.poi.hssf.record.DVRecord should be declared 
abstract; it does not define fillFields
(org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordInputStream) in 
org.apache.poi.hssf.record.Record at line 38, column 1
"DVRecord.java": cannot resolve symbol: constructor Record (short,short,byte[])
in class org.apache.poi.hssf.record.Record at line 137, column 9
"DVRecord.java": cannot resolve symbol: constructor Record (short,short,byte 
[],int)in class org.apache.poi.hssf.record.Record at line 150, column 9
"DVRecord.java": createPtg(org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordInputStream) in 
org.apache.poi.hssf.record.formula.Ptg cannot be applied to (byte[],int) at 
line 198, column 26

Is there way through which these Data Validation features could be implemented 
in POI 3.0?
